Evelyn has a little cold. Jon has a little cold. There's a lot of wheezing and sneezing and snorting going on. It's gross. I feel if all this is going on that it is only inevitable that I will get sick. Especially because Evelyn has taken to chewing on my toothbrush (really, any toothbrush she can get her hands on.)
I feel especially bad for Evelyn because she hasn't been sleeping very well, is super cranky, can't eat a lot because her nose is all stuffy, and there is no medicine we can give her that will make her feel better. We are out of Motrin, but I think we need more because she seems to have a low fever. Oh yeah, she's cutting two more teeth, too! Maybe some saline drops up the nose would help.
Two of the past three evenings, Evelyn and I (and once Jon), have ridden my bike to a little shopping area that recently opened near our house. It is about a 10 minute ride, mostly flat, and quite delightful. Yesterday we went to Whole Foods for some milk. (And as an aside...Whole Foods has local, horomone free milk for only $1.50 a half gallon. That's cheaper than other local, horomone free milk by $1.25! With the amount of milk we drink around here, that's almost $4 a week difference. I think we are making the switch!) There is also a Maggie Moo's ice cream, lots of restaurants, a YARN STORE. I'm sad I didn't ride up there more throughout the summer.
I hope the rest of you aren't suffering through colds. Isn't it too early for that anyway? Blerg.
